Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Still working through groin injury
Watson (groin) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Watson has played through groin and hip injuries as of late, but he's expected to play in Tuesday's NBA Cup clash. He's started in the Nuggets' last 11 games -- coinciding with Aaron Gordon's right calf injury -- and over that span Watson has averaged 12.4 points on 57.4 percent shooting, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 blocks over 31.2 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Likely to play Tuesday vs. Warriors
Gordon (calf) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against Golden State.
Gordon returned from a 10-game absence due to a right calf strain Sunday against the Clippers, and he finished with 10 points, four assists, one rebound and one steal over 24 minutes in a reserve role. It's unclear whether Gordon will supplant Peyton Watson (groin) in the Nuggets' starting lineup for Tuesday's NBA Cup game.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Improving efficiency of late
Murray contributed 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 loss to the Clippers.
Murray's final stat line wasn't eye-popping by any means, but the star guard is trending in the right direction following a slow start to the 2024-25 campaign. The lack of efficiency has been one of the biggest knocks on his numbers this season, but he's shot 17-for-30 in his last two games, which marks a clear improvement over the recent weeks. Murray scored at least 18 points in four of his past six games.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Scores 18 points Sunday
Porter finished with 18 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 loss to the Clippers.
Porter was efficient from a shooting perspective and tied Jamal Murray as Denver's second-highest scorer in this matchup behind Nikola Jokic, who posted his eighth triple-double of the season. Porter has been on a roll of late with 17 or more points in six straight appearances, averaging 20.0 points and shooting 56 percent from the field in that span.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Makes history with triple-double
Jokic logged 28 points (12-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 loss to the Clippers.
Even though the Nuggets came up short of getting the win Sunday, Jokic made history with his league-leading eighth triple-double of the season. He racked up the 138th triple-double of his career and tied Magic Johnson for third all-time in league history. Jokic has been an excellent fantasy option across all formats, and there aren't enough adjectives to describe how good he's been for Denver this season. In 15 games, Jokic is averaging 29.6 points, 13.2 rebounds and 10.7 assists per game, establishing new career-high marks in every one of those categories.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Chips in off bench in return
Gordon (calf) tallied 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, one rebound and one steal across 24 minutes in Sunday's 126-122 loss to the Clippers.
Though he's eventually expected to supplant Peyton Watson in the starting five, Gordon was eased back into action in a bench role after missing the Nuggets' previous 10 games with a right calf strain. The Nuggets also managed Gordon's playing time in his return, but he was still able to make some useful contributions across the board during his time on the court. Regardless if he starts in the Nuggets' next game Tuesday versus the Warriors, expect Gordon to see at least a mild boost in minutes.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Coming off bench in return
Gordon will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Gordon has missed the last 10 games due to a calf strain, so it doesn't come as much of a surprise to see Denver easing him back into play. Although there is no official word on a minute restriction, it seems likely he will see a lighter workload than usual Sunday.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Available Sunday
Watson (groin) will play during Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Watson will officially be available after being deemed probable ahead of game time due to an adductor strain. Watson has had a prominent role for Denver this season, but with Aaron Gordon (calf) back in the lineup, it wouldn't be surprising for Watson's playing time to take a hit.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Back in lineup
Gordon (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Gordon has missed the last 10 games due to a right calf strain, but he will return to action Sunday. In the six non-injury-shortened games he's played this season, Gordon has averaged 17.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 34.7 minutes per contest.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Upgraded to questionable Sunday
Gordon (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Gordon has missed 10 straight outings due to a right calf strain, though his status being upgraded from doubtful to questionable bodes well for his potential return to game action soon. Even If the 29-year-old forward is deemed available Sunday, he will likely remain under a minutes restriction. If Gordon is sidelined once again, his next chance to return will come in Tuesday's NBA Cup matchup versus Golden State.

Nuggets' Peyton Watson: Probable for Sunday
Watson is probable for Sunday's game against the Clippers with a right adductor strain.
Watson has been dealing with an adductor strain for quite some time, but that hasn't prevented the third-year forward from making 10 starts in a row. The probable tag suggests he should remain in the starting unit, especially with Aaron Gordon (calf) listed as doubtful. Watson is averaging 12.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game since moving to a starting role.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Doubtful to play Sunday
Gordon (calf) is doubtful to play against the Clippers on Sunday.
Gordon is likely to miss his 11th straight game after aggravating a right calf injury against the Raptors on Nov. 4, though he did manage to participate in Saturday's practice, per Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette. Gordon's next opportunity to play will be Tuesday against the Warriors in NBA Cup action.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Nearing return
Gordon (calf) is getting close to a return, according to head coach Michael Malone, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
Gordon participated in Saturday's practice, and his status for Sunday's game against the Clippers remains uncertain. He has not returned to game action since aggravating his right calf strain on Nov. 4. Prior to the injury, the 29-year-old averaged 17.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 0.8 steals across 34.7 minutes in six games. Whenever he does get the green light to return, look for the Nuggets to ease him back into the swing of things.

Nuggets' Michael Porter: Posts 19 points in victory
Porter logged 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 win over the Jazz.
Porter shot over 50 percent from the field during the blowout win. He snapped a short two-game double-double streak, but they have been coming fast and furious over the past two weeks, with three double-doubles over the past five games.
